Assuming the business is for sale....
Question. Set the wayback machine to 1956. IBM is sued for having a computer monopoly. Do you think that hadn't happened, that 1. Shockey over at Fairchild wouldn't have invented the Integrated Circuit. and 2. Texas Instrument wouldn't have used them in 1969 to create the pocket calculator. and 3. Nobody would have stretched the Pocket Calculator design to make a microprocessor?
Sorry I don't buy it.... monopolies don't ever get big enough to be as you project without being undercut by new technology first...
